Well, I successfully got my husband hooked to Grey's Anatomy and we are finally on the 7th season.. so almost caught up! Early last week I watched No Strings Attached with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher

While I love both of the actors, the storyline was lacking. It was sooooo predictable and there were a lot of irrelevant little side stories added that I'm still scratching my head about. Overall, I was disappointed.

On the other hand, Friday night we were able to watch

True Grit turned out to be a really great movie. I didn't have very high expectations but there was just the right amount of action to keep you entertained without being too over the top. The acting was phenomenal.

Coming in the mail tomorrow is..

I have very high hopes for this movie. The cast is wonderfully talented and it won a great deal of awards during award season.

So what's been on your DVR or queue this week?

Thanks to Netflix for the pictures!

Monday was truly manic as I spent most of the day fasting for a procedure that was scheduled for 2 PM. My procedure didn't actually happen til close to 5 PM so by the time I finally got home I was exhausted!

Anyways, I watched Love & Other Drugs on Saturday. Without the hotness that is Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hatheway I don't think I would have cared for it. The storyline is actually quite sad but their insane chemistry kept me from ejecting the disc.

A few weeks ago, my husband finally forced me to watched Meet the Parents. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to watch it, but I love Robert DeNiro so I really enjoyed it, so this week is all about the Fockers..

Meet the Fockers comes in the mail today followed by Little Fockers. Also, we've been catching up on Season 3 of Castle.

If you haven't seen this charming little show, I HIGHLY recommend it. It is one of mine and my husband's favorites. Nathan Fillion is so darn cute as a novelist who shadows Kate Beckett, an NYPD detective, who is played by the gorgeous Stana Katic. Their love/hate relationship is infatuating and the crime stories are actually really good as well.

So, the husband and I really enjoyed last week's Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Very quirky and fun!

Last night we watched..

I think we would give it 3 out of 5 stars. It started off slow but it definitely had its funny and heartwarming moments. Christian Bale was insanely good at playing Dicky and Mark Wahlburg has definitely improved his acting skills since "Fear" ;)

Coming in the mail on Thursday is..

I've heard mixed reviews about this movie. I find that people either love it or hate it.. so hopefully we're in that first category. I definitely love Jake Gyllenhaal.. yum!!!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday! I caught up on some Grey's Anatomy (I finally finished the 2nd season!)

I also watched this disaster yesterday..

So so so so very boring. I can't really say much else. It was a bit odd to see Kristin Stewart play a "call girl" but she still was Kristin Stewart. I love her but she can't really be anyone else besides Kristin Stewart lol.

This comes in the mailbox this week.. and I've heard great things about it so hopefully it is!

Plus Michael Cera is so geeky cute ;)

What's on your must-watch list?

My Monday yesterday was so manic, I didn't have time to post my Manic Monday. As the only contributor to this blog with a full time job and now school, there will prob be times that I won't be able to post. Which sucks royally. I wish there were 7 of me to help me get everything done.

Over the weekend, I watched Vampire Sucks. While Matt Lanter is oh so yummy, there were only a few ha-ha moments and the rest of the movie was spent shaking my head at the ludicrous parody.

Coming in the mail today is...

To be honest, I'm a little nervous about it. Ricky Gervais is usually hilarious but his performance while hosting the Golden Globes was so uncomfortable, I'm hoping this movie doesn't contain bitter Ricky.

What are you watching this week?

As I mentioned on Monday, I've been a little distracted with returning to grad school and being glued to my couch watching the following (there's not much else to do when your city is slowly turning into swampland!)

Last weekend, my husband and I watched this disaster of a movie:

I love both of these actors but man oh man did I struggle to get through this one. The story has been done better (See "Repo: The Genetic Opera") and the lack of song made the removal of body parts just well, bloody.

For the past couple of weeks we've been hooked on

I was sooooo skeptical about watching this and I'll admit it took about halfway through the first season for me to start to like it but oh my goodness once it has you hooked, you're done. The Sons are infectious with their constant drama and shenanigans. We just finished Season 2 last night and I'm itching to move on to Season 3.

Coming in the mail today is

I love musicals! And with this all star cast and subject matter, I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it! :)

So what have you been watching lately?

We have taken the leap. We have cancelled cable. So now we entirely rely on our Netflix subscription and the internet to satisfy our tv and movie cravings. On the short list this week:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I just finished the book yesterday and while I was a bit disappointed overall, I would still give the book a solid 3.5 out of 5 rating. I'm hoping the movie does a true portrayal of Lisbeth Salander, since she was my favorite part of the book. I'm highly looking forward to the American version as well with yummy Daniel Craig.

Weeds: Season 1

If you haven't seen this series, I highly (teehee) recommend it! I've watched it through the 5th season and have finally convinced my husband to watch it. Mary Louise Parker is sensational and the storyline constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat, either laughing hysterically or shaking your head in disbelief at the shenanigans Parker's Nancy and Company get into.

Sex & The City 2

Well, what can I say? That I like looking at all of the rediculous clothes these middle aged women get the opportunity to wear? I am not a fan of the show and while the first movie was tolerable, this second one was definitely laughable. I remember leaving the theatre in astonishment of the big head that is SJP. Ugh, I am so not a fan of hers and I apologize if any of you are, but her demeanor and very essence just rubs me the wrong way. Kim Cattrall is always the saving grace for me with her outrageous dialog and sex scenes and again the only positive thing I can say about this movie is the fabulous fashion.

Hello loves! Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far; I know I am!

In my DVD and Instant Queue this week:

I have always been a huge fan of CSI. We own the first 9 seasons on dvd. Although I still find the actual cases to be interesting, the cast is definitely lacking charisma and chemistry ever since Grissom left the show and Warrick was killed off. Boy do I miss those baby blues!

We are finally on the last season! (Well the last televised season) And again, without the regular appearance of Giles, the show is somewhat lacking in the charm and adorable british accents department. You can sense that Joss Whedon was trying to wrap up all loose ends in this last season and I can only hope that he ends it with class and finality. (TEAM SPIKE!)

So what are your latest tube obsessions?

It's Saturday which means its time for the weekly Netflix queue update. I'm hoping these entries will give you ideas on some movies or tv shows to watch, while you can also recommend some to me as well!

Well, coming in the mail today is..

My husband has been watching the cartoon for the better part of the last month and we finally get to experience the feature length film. I don't know much of the story but it has Jackson Rathbone from Twilight (Jasper) so at least I'll have some eye candy.

And streaming on my instant queue this past week has been..

Yes, I am EXTREMELY late to joining the Grey's Community. I'm still not all that crazy about it and I only have 3 episodes left in the first season. Don't get me wrong, McDreamy and Izzy makes it incredibly enjoyable but I am always distracted by how extremely thin Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh are. Plus I don't really relate to the whole hospital dynamic (who wants to work 100 hours a week on crap pay?!) But that may just be my bitterness from my winter weight gain :/

So, what are you watching this week? Have a great rest of the weekend!
